Soul Fighting in the Main Arena

When the two walked out of the Spirit Master passage, Ma Hongjun was waiting there for him; upon seeing Kong You, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but snort.

He always felt this guy wasn't exactly a good egg, but there was no helping it—his senior brother had a decent relationship with him, and as a junior brother, he couldn't exactly sow discord.

"The staff from the Soto Grand Spirit Fighting Arena just came by, saying they wanted to arrange a 2v2 match for us in the main arena, but I didn't agree, telling them to wait until after your match."

Although Ma Hongjun hadn't agreed, his eyes were full of fervor as he spoke; clearly, he was very interested in this 2v2 soul fight in the main arena.

Hearing this, Oscar and Kong You exchanged a glance. Kong You smiled without saying a word, while Oscar sighed and then said to Ma Hongjun:

"Let's go, let's register for the 2v2 soul fight."

Oscar originally hadn't intended to agree, as this was a conspiracy aimed at him. A warlock never stands under a dangerous wall—even with his own self-confidence, he didn't want to step into a trap.

But he was unwilling to give up the Grand Spirit Fighting Arena, a place extremely suitable for training at his current stage.

He also knew full well that avoidance wouldn't solve any problems. Even if he dodged this time, the families behind the Grand Spirit Fighting Arena who rejected Sky Net would never stop bothering him, a Sky Net member exposed to the public.

By taking this opportunity, he could also keep those families in the dark regarding their Sky Net's "inherited self-created spirit skills," thereby making them wary of the strength hidden behind Sky Net.

On the other hand, he also wanted to increase his bargaining chips for the upcoming negotiations with the family behind Kong You.

The group of four turned and walked toward the front desk. After a simple registration of their points, their 2v2 soul fight was confirmed.

As participating Spirit Masters in the main arena, Oscar and the others naturally received a private box. After checking on Zhu Zhuqing's condition, they briefly recovered their spirit power within the room.

The duration of a 2v2 soul fight was much longer than a 1v1, and this gap was further widened in the main arena.

Therefore, long after Oscar finished resting, the two teams of Spirit Masters responsible for warming up the stage had only just decided a winner, and the staff member knocked on the door of their box at the opportune moment.

"Spirit Venerable Yuanzhen, Spirit Venerable Jueyu, your match is about to begin. Please follow me to the 1v1 Soul Fighting Platform."

The staff member was wearing an outfit that looked fashionable but was essentially quite revealing—a reflection of the current era where many large factions liked to use young, beautiful girls to attract the attention of the powerful.

Once a Spirit Master with a wandering mind took a liking to them, they could use this to win them over.

After a brief exchange with Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar and Ma Hongjun followed the Spirit Master passage to the fighting platform, and Kong You naturally followed along.

Whether it was to avoid suspicion or because he wanted to watch Oscar's match up close, only he himself knew.

In the spectator stands of the main arena's 2v2 zone, the audience was already packed, with some even standing on the sidelines, faces flushed as they shouted something.

Although Jueyu's 1v1 soul fights were generally held in the sub-arenas, his combat scenes were too flamboyant, and he had already accumulated quite a few fans in the main arena through his duo with Oscar.

As for Oscar, there was no need to mention him; his image and combat techniques were in a league of their own in the main arena, with many girls even declaring they wanted to bear his children.

Of course, Oscar just let it go in one ear and out the other; he had no interest in that at all.

The 2v2 Soul Fighting Platform in the main arena was built entirely of refined iron and was a full four times larger than the 1v1 platforms in the sub-arenas!

At this moment, the host on the stage was announcing the Spirit Master duos.

"..., the fourth match of the 2v2, the Wuliang Duo versus the Black Sand Duo."

The moment he stepped onto the stage, Ma Hongjun's gait changed; with every step he took, a scorching Phoenix Red Lotus appeared beneath his feet.

This was a power-charging tactic he and Oscar had researched together over the past year, allowing him to accumulate momentum while moving and then erupt in an instant.

Their opponents were two youths of eighteen or nineteen, both with tiger-like eyes and very similar features, their sturdy builds no less impressive than Zhao Wuji's.

Although they weren't shirtless, their thick, exposed arms were enough to display their strength.

When the two saw Oscar and the others come up, the corners of their mouths curled slightly, and a sense of pressure erupted on the stage.

Oscar felt he could sense the strength of these two; after all, as members pushed forward by the family behind the Grand Spirit Fighting Arena to resolve a problem, they couldn't possibly be simple.

"Next, the match begins!"

After the host finished speaking in a hurry, he quickly turned and left the stage; clearly, he had known something all along.

Oscar saw all of this, and he and Ma Hongjun exchanged a look.

The moment the Black Sand Duo brothers heard the match begin, they both charged forward, and at the same time, a rich black light appeared in their hands as two identical black spears materialized.

During this process, their movements were as synchronized as if they were one person!

Simultaneously, three spirit rings of the same color—yellow, yellow, purple—pulsed on their bodies, and a terrifying spear aura instantly filled the entire space.

Oscar and Ma Hongjun looked at each other; neither was slow to react, sensing the horror of the opponent's attack in an instant.

But neither was worried in the slightest, after all... Ma Hongjun had been charging up for a long time along the way!

Ma Hongjun's third purple spirit ring lit up, and three sprites formed of flame appeared beside him.

This was his third spirit skill, Flame Sprite!

It could continuously increase the number of Flame Sprites as his spirit rings increased, and each Flame Sprite possessed 40% of Ma Hongjun's strength while also benefiting from the amplification of his power-charging!

At the same time, Ma Hongjun's second spirit ring flashed instantly—it was the amplification ability called Undying Fire, which could transform his Phoenix Fire into Undying Phoenix Fire; as long as it burned the opponent, it would continue to burn until it reduced them to ashes!

In just a split second, Ma Hongjun's first spirit ring lit up a half-beat later, and a total of four fire beams erupted from him and the three Flame Sprites, attacking the Black Sand Duo brothers who were charging over.

But the opponents were clearly well-prepared; seeing this, they quietly split to the sides while simultaneously attacking Oscar.

Orbs of light—one couldn't tell which spirit skill they were—erupted from their spears, striking at Oscar's head, abdomen, and lower abdomen respectively!

"Since you're being so ruthless, don't blame me for being vicious."

Oscar sighed, his feet moving slightly as he stepped on his own left foot with his right to instantly ascend into the air; this was the Wudang supreme movement technique he had been hiding—Wudang Cloud-Stepping!

In the gap created by this positioning, he once again used the Three Jin of the Wudang Taiji school: Stick-Entangle-Draw!

Each orb of light was guided into the palm of his left hand, while a long sword shimmering with cold light appeared in his right!
